Salesville City Council renews 5 mill city tax

Salesville City Council unanimously passed a resolution to continue the city's five-mill property tax to be assessed on property in 2013 and collected in 2013, said city Recorder/Treasurer Sherl Jacobs. The motion was made by Councilman Tim Mayfield and seconded by Councilman James Whitehead. Councilman Jerry Gragg was absent.

In other business, Councilman Tommy Alcaraz said three dogs were running loose in the area of 133 White Oak Drive and may be a pit bull mix, with Mayor Joe Garcia responding that he would send a note and a copy of the Salesville dog law ordinance, which prohibits pit bull breeds.

Reports given to the council were:

? Garcia said the Emergency Weather Siren had been repaired and the city has requested permission to have it signed over to the city, and said it would also be insured

? Bonner Drive was named as the next street on the list to be repaired, said Garcia as he gave the street report, adding the ditch work would be done first to address the drainage, then resurfacing, saying it would begin after the first of the year, allowing time for the Street Fund to build back up with city sales tax revenue

? Fire Chief Brad Harper reported three medical calls and one assist to the Tracy Volunteer Fire Department last month; said the brush truck was painted and would be on its way to Salesville soon; Harper said three new volunteers had completed two of their three fire training courses, and announced a class in auto extrication to be held soon.
